In the laundry list of things, places and people that make the city of London fab, you can now add... Kelly Rowland. One of my favorite Destiny's Child members ( I have three) has been a regular in London town for ages now and they love her as much as she loves them. So it was no surprise when I heard that River Island, one of London's largest and chicest clothing stores, tapped the 'Fashion Show' co-host to star in their latest ad campaign.The shoot was styled by legendary London fashionista Arieta Mujay and took place in New York City recently at the height of Fashion Week! So you know what I had to do? Track Kelly down to ask her a quick question or two on runway fashion and how it works for the real woman.You were in and out of shows during Fashion Week...Why is it important for you to be here at NYC Fashion Week?
I get inspiration when I go to New York Fashion Week – whether it is for my closet or for the studio. The energy is great here, and it is so much fun. And the bonus is, we get Proper Attire Condoms from Brian Reyes (laughter)!
Do you think the clothes you see are wearable enough for real women?
That's a great thing. No matter what the price tag is, everyone can have style. It is important to mix high and low – so one day you may see me in an Alexander Wang top and River Island pants. Honestly, that is what I like the most. Unfortunately, sometimes fashion doesn't translate for all sizes, but I have seen things here that every woman can bridge into their own personal style.
